This is once again a Victory Monday episode of The Shotgun Start as Caleb Williams led a game-winning drive in Minnesota to push the Bears to 7-3 on the year. Andy is absolutely buzzing following the divisional win but was even more excited about the finish of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship on Sunday morning. Adam Schenk hung on against 40 mph winds to secure his first PGA Tour win and guarantee his status for the 2026 season. Andy and Brendan run through an incredible Sunday of television as Tour veterans and young players battled the elements on a small island in the middle of the ocean. They pitch that maybe the Butterfield should be a Signature Event to give fans a chance to watch the best players in the world try to figure out the wind patterns for four days of competition. Not to be outdone, the DP World Tour Championship went to a playoff between Rory McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick. Fitz ended up with the win, putting a bow on a season that had him fall outside the top 80 in OWGR only to now have him back inside the top 25 heading into the new year. Andy and Brendan then take a look at the "Year of Rory" following his seventh Race to Dubai title, tying Seve's mark for second place all time. Potential Ryder Cup captain Stewart Cink chased down Steven Alker in Phoenix to become the first player since 2017 to win both the Schwab Cup Championship and the season-long honors. Champions Tour Minute also includes some Tiger Woods chatter following a Golfweek article published on Friday about his potential involvement on the senior circuit in 2026. This episode closes with a brief bit of news involving a back surgery for Justin Thomas that will keep him out of action for the first part of next season.

Todd and Chris talk all things golf. Tiger Woods, Charlie Woods, LIV Golf, PGA Tour Golf, and everything in between.
David Epstein, author of Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, dismantles the myth that early specialization is the only path to excellence. Drawing from research on elite athletes, musicians, and scientists, David reveals how individual variability in learning means there is no one-size-fits-all approach to skill development. He reframes the Tiger Woods and Mozart narratives, showing how their success came from internal drive, not just parental pressure. From his own journey—leaving Sports Illustrated to investigate drug cartels—David demonstrates why sampling periods, lateral thinking, and diverse experiences create more adaptable, innovative problem-solvers than narrow expertise alone.

When it comes to assessing practice success, understanding various returns on investment is critical. Kiera and Kristy explain what the Dental A-Team is looking for when it comes to understanding the success (or lack thereof) of various investments. They specifically touch on the power of five different KPIs that'll keep your practice in line. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: K iera Dent (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera and today it's the KK podcast. Kiera and Kristy hanging out today. Kristy, how you doing today? DAT Kristy (00:10) Good, it's a good day. Kiera Dent (00:12) It's a great day. you like, I feel like I want to like KK. I mean, it's not, it's only two K's everybody listening, but I feel like it's like the Kit Kat. I don't know. It feels kind of like that between you and me. don't know why, but yeah, double the, or we could be like double mint, like double the flavor, double the fun. It's Kieran Kristy on the pod. Like there's just the two of us cause there's no other K names in the consultant world. It's just Kieran Kristy. So I mean, we got DAT Kristy (00:36) That's right. Kari and Kristy, you got it. Kiera Dent (00:40) Kiera and Dana, so that could be my initials, cute. Then there's Kiera and Trish, but there's Trish and Tiffanie. Then there's Kiera and Brittany, no BS, Britt, she's on her own realm. And then we've got Monica. So, see, it's the two Ks, it's the double the, like, we're just gonna have fun here. Like, you get two of us, two brilliant brains. And believe it or not, Kristy and I actually might just be rivaling for like some of the biggest gains this quarter, so. DAT Kristy (00:55) Yes, it does. Kiera Dent (01:07) ⁓ not that we're here just for gains on clients, but Kristy does give me a run for my money, which all the consultants do. And Kristy's just like, she's, she's coming on hot this, this quarter. So I thought it'd be really fun, Kristy, for us to kind of dig into. Like either quarterly or twice a year annual reviews that we kind of do with clients and how you assess it. And we show the ROI that clients are getting, just cause I think it's important for clients to see like, what should you be assessing in your practice quarterly or two times a year? How's the practice going? And Kristy, I think you're really, really strong in this. And I think you're really talented at looking at the practice and about their numbers and about, like, you love that. You and I will geek about numbers all day long, which is why it's the KK club, the KitKat club. Like we're here for the numbers. We're here for the fun. ⁓ But yeah, Kristy, kind of take it away of how do you set this up? What do you look at with clients when you're assessing their practices? Because always client style is like, I want ROI on consulting. And you do like, amazing job at showing that ROI. So kind of take it away of what do we look at? How do we determine ROI? And I know this is your jam. This is what you love to do. DAT Kristy (02:15) I love it. You're right. I do. You know, we all. Kiera Dent (02:18) Do hear that little giggle? I hope everybody heard that. Like that's Kristy's like. Kristy lives for this stuff and it makes me so happy because I do too. Like it's fun. It's fun to get the gains. DAT Kristy (02:28) Yeah, absolutely. Well, you and I have talked about this before. So many doctors just look their bank account to see if they're on track or off track. And it's such a false sense of security looking at or lack of security, one of the two. with that being said, ⁓ there truly is like five Kiera Dent (02:36) you Mm-hmm. DAT Kristy (02:48) KPIs that we're going to look at. And a couple of them are lag measures. A couple of them are lead measures. ⁓ first view would be production net production collections. Yeah. Kiera Dent (03:01) Yeah, don't even get into that gross. We don't want gains that are fake all y'all, okay? Like get out. ⁓ Jason and I were talking the other day about guys, there's this, okay, Kristy, I'm gonna go on Tanger for a second. There's this really attractive actor on this show we're watching and I'm like, truly I was so disappointed when they kind of cut him from a couple episodes. I was like, no, she's gotta get back together with this guy because he's so good looking. And my husband and I, we look, because he looks pretty short. DAT Kristy (03:13) you Kiera Dent (03:28) So I like scoped him and I was like, how tall is this guy? And he says he's six foot and Jason's like, there's no way he's six foot. He's like, but do you ever hear some guy come in and they're like, yeah, I'm like 5'11". He's like, no, they all push them to the six foot. And I feel like that's what gross production is. It's like all of us are like, yeah, like I'm basically six foot. Yeah, I'm basically like a millionaire. Yeah, I'm basically there. Like, so we're talking, no, get out. We're here for like actual gains that you're actually getting net production. my little side tangent, it's okay. It's okay if you're 5'10". It's okay if you're 5'9". It's okay if you're 5'11". We in production want to know the real number that we can actually collect, not the artificial one that makes you feel good when you're chatting with friends. You can fluff your height, but don't fluff your production. DAT Kristy (04:15) love that 100%. So we got the net production and then the collections, Kiera Dent (04:16) you DAT Kristy (04:22) dollar for dollar percentage. Obviously we want them to be 98 % or higher. And then on the flip side, where are we diagnosing? What's our case acceptance? And so many people just look at the percent of case acceptance, but I also want to look at the dollars of what you're diagnosing because is it enough to reach your goal? you know, where's your profit point at and what do we need to hit? Because we can celebrate 100 % case acceptance, which I don't think anybody ever has 100%, but you know, if you're getting 50 % case acceptance, which is still a very good percentage, 50 % of what? If we need to hit 150 every month and we're only hitting 100, it's not enough to get us there. So those would be the main five KPIs that ⁓ tell us the health of your practice, right? And go ahead, care. Kiera Dent (05:18) I was gonna say, and Kristy, as you said that, diagnosing, don't think people realize is as important as it is. For whatever goal you wanna hit, there's a industry standard that you need to diagnose three times what you wanna produce. So if you wanna produce 100 grand, you need to be diagnosing 300,000 minimum to be able to get there, and you better hope you've got a great treatment coordinator who can close. And this is actually like... I'm gonna like give a little secret away that we'll see if people are smart enough to pick up on in future years. This is the number one thing I actually look for in a consultant. I look to see, do an interview, we give them some stats and if a consultant cannot pick up this practice like without fail, they come in and they wanna talk block scheduling, they wanna talk other things. But I need a consultant to be able to see that a lot of times the reason a practice is not hitting their goals is due to a lack of diagnosis. And another reason we do that is because Kristy and I are not dentists and we're not here to tell you how to diagnose. We're just here to help you see that based on industry standards and what you should be diagnosing of a healthy practice. If you're not getting enough diagnosis and doctors, you've got to hear this. If you are not diagnosing enough, this is a doctor issue and we're not saying to overdiagnose, but you have to diagnose enough. If you're not diagnosing enough and there's not enough treatment coming through, your practice will not grow. And that's not your team's fault. That's a you problem. And so making sure that you, your hygienist, you use AI, but Kristy, I'm so glad you brought that up because production collections are always easy. But what impacts that, like you said, is the diagnosis, then the case acceptance, the new patients. And that's where it says lead and lag. Like everybody's looking at the lag of production collection, but it's like, what did we do to get there? And Kristy, I love that you bring these five things up every single quarter, every single, like twice a year with your clients, because people don't realize your bank account is a lag measure. of what you've been doing in the practice. And then like another one is your overhead and what are you spending? Because if those things are in check, but we're spending everything we're making, we're not saving for taxes. Well, yeah, that's a real fun moment. Your bank account's really gonna look bleak, even if everything's working in the practice. So I really hope people take note because it's such a good thing for people to be aware of. DAT Kristy (07:09) . Absolutely. to that point, Kiera, like so many people think if that number isn't where they want it, let's go get more new patients. And then they want to spend more money on more new patients. And nine times out of 10, this is exciting time of the year because we're halfway through the year. Take a look at what you did treatment plan. I mean, I see a lot of practices, you know, let's for easy math, they're diagnosing a million dollars and we've closed 500,000. Holy cow. Even if you captured, you know, percent of that difference like what would that mean to your bottom line and this is a perfect time to take a step back and go my gosh we have five months left in the year what would that look like break it down chunk it down to simple pieces that your team can digest and you guys have fun with it. It's all about getting patients healthier. Let's face it, you're not diagnosing things patients don't need. So let's go get it. Let's get our patients healthy and gamify it. See one more crown a day or one more implant a month. What is it? Right? Kiera Dent (08:35) Yeah. And Kristy, I think something you do so well that I hope people heard is you're not going for the big gains. You're going for the little like squeeze the juice, like get the last bit of toothpaste out of the tube of toothpaste. And I don't think people like that's not sexy. It's like, hey, I heard this podcast that I'm supposed to like go look at these small things versus we're getting all these new patients and we signed up for marketing. Well, but like this is where the elite practices shine. This is where the like really superior Practices go people are like here. How do you do it? How do you guys like add? 20,000 40 that I Kristy I was looking at some of your stats girl. You're like, like I said, I love a good hustle and some of your practices you're adding like 50,000 a month to their practices and that's Incredible and people like how you do it Kristy's literally telling you it's through squeezing the tube of toothpaste in these small little moves that actually are not that hard going and getting new patients and signing up for marketing and all that that to me is actually hard fixing your diagnosis getting your whole team on board, looking to see at what our production collections are, making sure our collections are tight. Those things are way easier. They're not as fun, they're not as sexy, but way easier than having to go like hunt and fish for new patients, even though it's way more fun to tell people you signed up for marketing. It's not fun to be like, yeah, we got a new billing thing in place. Like we got our AR fixed. That's not fun to admit, but it's way fun on the bank account and the profitability side too. DAT Kristy (09:58) Yeah, 100%. And again, ⁓ so going back to the new patients, they want to spend more money to get it. But then have you looked at like, how are we answering the phone? How are we capturing the patients that are calling? Maybe you really don't need to spend any more money to cap, you know, they're coming in, we're just not capturing them, you know, and I'm always a fan of, you know, there's the internal marketing and external. everything Fred Joyle said it best right everything is marketing we are marketing so get real intentional and get in relationship with your patients figure out what they want and tie their care back to it you know Kiera Dent (10:39) Mm-hmm. Yeah, I think it's brilliant. And I think it's like you said, everything we do is marketing. And so if we realize that and so many people want external marketing, and I think to me, the reason people want external marketing, and I'm not here to say not to do external marketing, I think it's a, it is a piece and a part of it. But I think it feels like a diet pill sometimes, like, let's just let's just throw money over there. And let's hope it fixes our problems. Let's out produce our problems rather than fixing our problems. And I really want people to realize like, elite business ownership and being part of the elites, and we're not talking big practices, there's no right size to it. That all comes actually from doing these small little things and internal marketing, once again, is so good. These patients already love you. You already have a base of people that love you. And if you treat those people really well, rather than constantly going to try and swoop and get more people in, those people then refer, they refer better people to you. It's easier. I have a practice and it was wild. They're like, Kiera, we signed up with marketing and we're trying to get it. And again, this is not a bash on any marketing companies. It is definitely necessary. ⁓ but they're like, but we're just not getting more, more new patients. Talk to another client. They're like, we, we just signed up with a marketing company and it's actually gone down. And I'm like, well, tell me what were you doing before to get patients? And they're like, we were at the church, we were in this magazine. And I'm like, well, get back in that because it was, it was showcasing the good things you're doing. It was being this like, more B2B, it was being more connected rather than just trying to go for the masses and it's wild because internal marketing can be so much more effective if done right. And like you said, be in a relationship with your patients and know what they want. And great Google reviews, great Google reviews are your fastest, easiest marketing. So pay with Swell, like let's throw another plugin for Swell. It's been a few months since I put them in. Go to Swell, SwellCX.com. Tell them Dental A Team sent you. Literally Zeke and I met when he founded the company. So you still get like founding prices, because that was the promise he and I made that you guys would get that. But honestly, just get your Google reviews up. Save the money. I don't know. Kristy, you and I are such birds of the same feather. That's why we're KitKat over here. We just think very similarly. And I think that's why we get very similar results as well. DAT Kristy (12:55) Yeah, I think that the other big thing here is to recognize so many people are afraid of numbers. The members just start to tell a story and what we fail to realize is there's a system behind every one of those numbers. And if the number isn't where we want it, we need to pull up that system and figure out the system's a recipe, right? It's our cookbook. If it's not where we want it, then let's go back and figure out, did we mess up the recipe? You know, or is the recipe, we're following it to a T and we just need to change up and find a new recipe because it's not getting the result. So ⁓ I love digging into those numbers because that tells us where we need to focus on this quarter to get the results we want. Kiera Dent (13:40) And I really love that you said numbers just tell a story and there's a system behind the number and this makes it so much easier like going back There's a podcast I did a little while ago where I talked about the yes model and Dental A Team to help you say yes to more It's focusing on you as a person your vision which Kristy alludes to like are we on track or not for that vision and then E stands for earnings and profitability and S stands for systems and if you put them in that order So you've got your vision then we look at the numbers just like Kristy said then you put into place the systems based on what those numbers tell you, it becomes a much more manageable and easier to digest process rather than being like, I need all the systems. And it's like, no, no, no, you just need the systems based on what the numbers tell you because I'm sure you're doing a lot more right than you think you are. DAT Kristy (14:25) Absolutely. And I also think, you know, it's a good time to take a step back and evaluate where you are on the culture scale too, right? Happy team creates happy patients and happy patients pay and refer. So it all goes hand in hand. Kiera Dent (14:39) Good thoughts on there. Okay, so what else do you go? You go through the production collections, diagnosis, case acceptance, new patients, lead lag measures. Then you move into, we on track, off track for our goals of where we're at this year? What are the things that we could do now to get there by end of year? Are they still relevant? Are we still on track? What else do you look at with your clients when you're doing these assessments, Kristy? DAT Kristy (15:02) Yeah, well, I always like to start the year off with projecting where we're going. And so also calculating back to that. And you and I talked about overhead. If we take what our average overhead is for the year, are we on track for meeting that or not? Right? Because we can project all day long. I can want to make $3 million, but this $3 million cover overhead expenses and our savings for the year. So always measuring back to that. And if we're off track figuring out how can we get on track, right? Did doctor take off more time or do we need to add in a Friday to get to goal? You know, those types of things. Or are you, ⁓ okay with where we're projected to land and you feel confident about that. You know, once in a blue moon, well, I shouldn't say once in a blue moon because you and I do get them up there, but you know, it also relieves them and they can maybe even take an extra week off or a few days off because they're ahead of goal. Yeah. Kiera Dent (16:06) Totally. And those are the fun ones. That's what we want. We want to be ahead. We don't want to always be behind. And I agree with you, Kristy. The offices that are ⁓ diligent and consistent at looking at these, we look at these monthly, we look at these quarterly, we look at these annually, we assess, we redirect. It's like, I don't know. I feel like what you do is there's a plane. I just flew back from Greece, which was a very long flight. And it was very fun. This is where I watched. DAT Kristy (16:13) Mm-hmm. Kiera Dent (16:35) so many of these shows of this very good looking actor. I thought I was like, how tall is this man? While my husband's sitting next to me, it's okay, it's all right. We're allowed to have a few celebrity crushes. ⁓ But on our flight back, it was like a 12, 13 hour flight home. And I think about if that pilot would not have checked to see if we were a few degrees off, I could have easily ended up somewhere else. And that's just by a few degrees. And so what I feel you're doing, Kristy, on these quarterly, these monthly, these annual check-ins is making sure that we're still navigating towards Greece or towards wherever we're trying to get. And are we on track or like you said, do we need to do a small navigation at a Friday, change this, look at our spending to be able to end up there at the end of the year or like, are we so far off course? So we need to like correct a little bit and then get back on track for next year. But the hope is that we catch that soon enough because we're never gonna go in a straight line. It will never be perfectly across. There will always be hiccups, there will be turbulence, there will be. things that you gotta go around, you gotta redirect places. But if we're constantly looking at it, we stay much more on course and charter to where we want to go rather than like hoping and wishing we end up where we actually set out to go. DAT Kristy (17:43) Yeah, 100%. And sometimes it's also looking, where are we spending? Right? Is there something that crept in there? We talked about this before too, with, you know, the subscriptions or, I mean, it's funny because the very first doctor that I remember him telling a story about an airline and I was just sharing this recently with a client. I think it was like American, you guys could probably Google it and find it, but it's back in the day when they would serve meals to everybody and this airline decided that they could cut one olive. Kiera Dent (18:17) Hmm? DAT Kristy (18:17) and it cut their bottom line by a ton. Like what is the cost of one olive? So where can we tighten the ship a little bit? Those things are kind of, again, have fun with it, gamify it. Get your team involved. Let them be part of the solution. Kiera Dent (18:37) Yeah, and Kristy, I love that because we talk about this olive, the FedEx trucks and then chicken nuggets. And going back to it, the black olive airline cut, it was one olive, saved them $40,000 annually. I just pulled it up to sea and it was on American Airlines. And Tiff and I talk about the chicken nugget, like they used to serve five chicken nuggets, which was the right amount. Well, they dropped it to four. Four is not enough, so now you... Upsell to 10 and I'm like that's one chicken nugget. This is one olive and I agree with you Kristy for me This is the fun of business like how can I go find that one olive or that one chicken nugget Tim and I get really excited when we find a whole chicken farm. Like that's a good one I'm like, wow, that was that was like a really good idea or a whole salad But again, it's to cut costs but improve patient care. Like what are they? mean even today Kristy, Shelbi, Britt and I were going through our expenses in dental a team DAT Kristy (19:25) Mm-hmm. Kiera Dent (19:30) and we looked and we have Adobe and we still use Adobe for contracts. But Shelbi looked at it, we're paying 65 and we use Canva and our marketing team doesn't need all the entire suite of Adobe anymore. But that was something we put into place like five years ago. We've been paying 65 bucks every single month when we only need to be paying 19. Not that that matters. And so many people are just like, well, here it's 40 bucks. And I'm like, okay, you want to play a game with me? I'll play a game. It's 65 minus 20. DAT Kristy (19:57) me. Kiera Dent (20:00) Okay, so 45 times that by 12 times that by five years is 2,700 bucks that I've been overpaying just on a subscription that's doing nothing for our company that I could have cut. And I'm like, I know you might not get out of bed for 2,700 bucks, but I'm like, you find that subscription, you find this subscription, you find that one, all those little, do you think someone really was excited on American Airlines to save $40,000 when it's a multi-billion dollar business? But 40,000 here, 20,000 there. DAT Kristy (20:26) Right. Kiera Dent (20:29) 50 bucks here. also think Kristy, to me, it's the discipline of auditing, of looking. It's more than I think the olive or the Adobe subscription or the chicken nugget. It is the constant innovation to look, to be the most savvy business that we can possibly be. And then we flip to the other side and give the best service that we can as well. DAT Kristy (20:51) 100 % I agree with you, Kiera. Yeah, it's just those small incremental things. And it's about being intentional versus doing it by default, right? Let's do it intentionally so that when we get to the end, there's no surprises. Kiera Dent (20:52) you love that because I hate surprises in December as a business owner. Oh, I used to dread December's like and it's a great time to travel. It's a great time to hang out with family. But I used to cry like beginning of December, it was tears every single year. And then by the end of the year, I was exhausted. had nothing left for family and it's supposed to be such a fun time that I agree with you, Kristy. It's like no tears. The projections are there we were prepared. I don't know there really is a saying like if you are prepared, you will not fear and I'm like, it really is that case and also Like CPAs, I'm gonna rag for a second. They rag on consultants. This is a love relationship we have with CPAs and consultants. I get so annoyed that like CPAs don't tell you till December. And I'm like, no, have the meeting in July. Have the meeting in October. Figure it out because you still have time to pivot. And that's what Kristy and I wanted to come on today is there's still time to pivot if you look at these items, you look at the things we're discussing, you look to see what can we do. There's still time. It's like, we're not at the 11th hour. hoping to try to make up time in such a short amount of time. call your CPAs, find out where you're at on your tax liabilities. Are you on track for saving that? There's so many times that we have our meeting with the CPA and he's like, Kiera, I need to up and increase and start cutting. And I'm just annoyed every time, but I'd rather do that over the course of six months rather than one month, because I still have time to make that correction with it, not hurting as much as it could. DAT Kristy (22:30) It's so true, so true. And the efforts to get there are a lot smaller when we can dilute it over five months versus two weeks, because we didn't look till the end of the year. Kiera Dent (22:42) especially the two weeks in December where we're not producing so we're not even collecting and we have to pay more. It's just a really like nasty path. So I'm like, no, no, no, just don't plan for December. Have that be your gravy slush time. Get it all done in 11 months. But like even that kind of thinking, Kristy, I don't think is common. I think it's very abnormal to think, well, if my December is only going to be two weeks, why am I banking on that as a full month? Why don't I bank on? And this is back to mine and Kristy, like we love the projections. We love to think of like DAT Kristy (22:59) No. Kiera Dent (23:12) How could I get this done in 11 months? How can we give you vacations? How can it be done in this many weeks? And that's something, Kristy, I really do feel like it's the Kit Kat Club over here. Like we really do think in such a similar way, but I want you to realize like this is how Kristy and I are able to throw gains. We're able to help practices get to where they want to be, but also with it being easy, happy teams, happy culture, not a lot of stress, ⁓ and just kind of doing the small minutiae things that actually make insane gains. for a practice. We help find the olives, Kristy. Every so often we might get a tomato, but it's the small olives that actually make the huge impact for a practice. DAT Kristy (23:42) Right? Yeah, let's get the olives. Yeah. 100%, 100%. And hopefully we can show it's easy. It's not hard. It truly isn't hard. It's one patient at a time and just capturing a little bit more. Kiera Dent (24:03) Yeah. And then Kristy, I think it's really fun what you do for your clients too, is you show them the ROI that you brought to them through AR, through production, through overhead savings. So that way a client, regardless of their bank account saying, can literally see that in the course of working together, this is what we've been able to accomplish together. Because I think as a business owner, it is so easy to forget like what it felt like when I couldn't lift 20 pounds, now that I'm lifting 50 pounds. Like it's so easy because 50 pounds becomes your new normal, but you're like, no, no, no, no. Remember how we started and you couldn't even lift like five pounds. Then you got up to 20, then you got up to 50. I think it's very easy for clients to forget where they started because their new norm is where we've grown them to. DAT Kristy (24:48) Yeah, it's so true. mean, you know me, I love analogies and it's almost like your periopatient that's been coming in every three months and now they're healthy and so they want to push it back out and it's like you forgot it's this effort coming every three months that's gotten you healthy and the minute we change it, things start to slide, you know, so. ⁓ Yeah, mean, hopefully, hopefully we can always show that value in it. They still have to do the boots on the ground hard work, but you know. even Tiger Woods has a coach, right? And that coach can see around corners to see things a little bit faster maybe when things aren't moving the same. You your swing's off, what's happening, what's going on, you know, and to keep you back on track. it's fun, it's fun partnering with clients and being able to see that and course correct and help them achieve their goals. Kiera Dent (25:43) ⁓ I love it. Kristy, I agree with you. And I think that that's why we have the passion for consulting. We have the passion for practices. We have the passion for wanting you to strike. It's crazy because like, I don't know, we have a tagline, which marketing told me I need to get rid of because it's more about me than it is about you. And it does not make sense to me. ⁓ where it says like your success as a practice is truly Dental A Team's passion. Like this is what gets me and Kristy up out of bed. This is what makes us want to get on a podcast and share with you is you being successful, you getting your dreams, you hitting these goals is what we are obsessed and so passionate about. So I think it's so fun. So I'd say, Kristy, if practice is listening right now, what would be kind of like your bow on our podcast today that you'd say like, okay, from everything we've talked about, what do they take away? What can they go implement? ⁓ Because sometimes it can feel like, well, what's my first step to be able to get on this path of slight course corrections to get to my final destination with ease. DAT Kristy (26:42) Yeah, well first off, if you haven't figured out your goal, maybe look at what you finished at last year and at least strive for 10 % above that because we know that that's at least keeping up with inflation. Again, I don't know if that's meeting your overhead needs, but at least it's a good point. And then reverse engineer it. See how far you're off track from that for the year. and ⁓ what's one more day or one more thing every day. Hopefully you're doing some sort of morning huddle and ⁓ inside of the morning huddle, everybody has a part to play, right? So admin, look, is there any balances that need to be collected? ⁓ patient wise in doctor's schedule, is there anybody that could come back in through hygiene? Hygiene, if we have undiagnosed treatment and we know there is, because we see those numbers every day in morning huddle and it's almost like crazy alarming the amount. Usually it's more than what you're even producing for the day. So, gamify it and try to turn those patients into healthy patients by converting their treatment. ⁓ know just those simple things right there is going to make a big difference to your year end. Kiera Dent (27:55) I that. I love it, Kristy, so much. And I love that you have the passion and the love. I love that you will also sit down with your clients. And I think that that's the discipline and maybe like the fast track of using a consultant is, Kristy, you prepare these for your clients. You think about it. You're looking down the line of things they're maybe not even considering doing. They're not thinking about midway. How are we doing? What are our projections? Are we on track? Are we off track? Where are we at? And I think having a consultant, like you said, with even Tiger Woods, looking around the corner, looking down the line. Kristy and I are both like, we're watching the clock. We know we only have so many more months in the year. Where are you at? How can we make sure that we're constantly keeping you on track to get to your goals? Where maybe you're just having a fun summer vacation or you're just coming back. Like we know that that's our job is to be looking down the line for you, watching out for you, projecting for you, course correcting with you. ⁓ Even when you're in the day to day problems. And I think Kristy, that's just a a shout out to you and a shout out to consultants because this is why we do what we do. So if you, if you are like most business owners, including myself, when I first started and you hate numbers, that's why there are people like Kristy and myself that exist because we love to get into the nitty gritty. We love to look for those olives. We love to help you go do the dentistry and we're going to sit here and help make sure your business and your team and your practice is flourishing. So that way the hard work you put into being a dentist pays off for you in the end. So Kristy love this, love what you do for our clients. Love being the, the KK Kit Kat, whatever we want to be over here. mean, it might stick. We might be Kit Kats for Halloween. You never know, but Kristy just super appreciate you and all that you do for our clients and for our company and you as a human being, you're just a gem. And I'm so freaking lucky to work with you. DAT Kristy (29:28) Yeah. Thank you. It's my honor and you know what? We're stronger as a team, I have to say. So no matter what consultant you have in our company, you get all of us. So we collaborate, we cheer each other on, just like hopefully you're cheering your team on. So happy to help. Kiera Dent (29:49) Bye. Kristy, you said that so well and it is true. I see you and all the consultants like have little meetings on your calendars of connecting and chatting and I do agree. We all help each other out. We want all of our clients to succeed no matter who you're working with. So for all of you, if you're struggling or you're like, gosh, I really would love that help or just having someone, I'll just put our arm around you and like, we're here to help you. We're here to support you. We're here to guide you. We're here to look around that corner. Reach out, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. And as always, Kristy, thanks for being with me. Thank all of you for listening. and we'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.

Ask Me How I Know: Multifamily Investor Stories of Struggle to Success
High performers often fear stillness — mistaking rest for regression. In this episode, discover how reflection roots transformation and why true strength is restored, not lost, when you pause to let peace lead.For many high-capacity humans, stillness feels unsafe. After years of performing peace instead of receiving it, the pause between doing and becoming can feel like withdrawal.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly guides listeners into the quiet — the sacred space where the nervous system catches up to the new identity being formed. Drawing from somatic integration, she explains how rest isn't weakness but wiring — the physiological reset that allows peace to become your default instead of pressure.You'll learn how to:Recognize the “performance adrenaline” that keeps you from truly resting.Understand why your mind resists stillness — and how to reframe it as safety, not stagnation.Stop performing stillness as another “to-do” and start receiving peace instead.Rewire your nervous system to trust reflection as part of forward motion.Practice micro-moments of pause that stabilize your leadership, creativity, and presence.Julie draws subtle wisdom from Tiger Woods and Marcus Aurelius, both of whom learned that rest isn't retreat — it's the recalibration of mastery. Their stories remind us that restraint is part of greatness, and that waiting is where wisdom matures.This isn't mindfulness as performance — it's Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR): the psychology-backed, faith-rooted pathway that transforms pressure into peace by aligning who you are beneath what you do.Today's Micro Recalibration:“You're safe to pause; stillness is where strength resets.”And if you lead a team:“Invite one minute of quiet before your next meeting — not for productivity, but for presence. Notice how safety shifts the room.”Stillness isn't the end of momentum. It's the maturity of it.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

High performers often mistake discipline for proving. This episode explores how to practice without pressure — so you can restore joy, focus, and peace. Learn why real mastery flows from presence, not performance, and how to rewire your brain for peace.For many high-capacity humans, discipline has become disguised defense. You're not afraid of practice — you're afraid of what might happen if you stop.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly unpacks why even the most dedicated high performers can lose joy when practice turns into proving. Through the lens of neuroplasticity, she explains how your brain learns safety through repetition — not striving — and how to rebuild a rhythm that restores your energy, focus, and identity.You'll learn how to:Recognize when “discipline” has turned into self-protection.Reprogram your nervous system through repetition in safety, not stress.Shift from proving your worth to practicing your peace.Understand why integration doesn't slow you down — it compounds your impact.Lead teams where growth flows from trust, not tension.Drawing from the later chapters of Tiger Woods' comeback, Julie shows what it looks like to return to mastery with humility, peace, and gratitude. His quiet strength reminds us that excellence doesn't disappear when pressure is released — it deepens.This isn't mindset work. It's Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) — the psychology-backed, faith-rooted pathway that begins with the who, not just the how. It's not another strategy. It's the smallest internal shift that changes everything.Today's Micro Recalibration:“Practice becomes worship when peace is your measure of success.”And if you lead a team, bring this to your next meeting:“What if growth didn't come from pressure, but from safety?”Integration begins when you remember — peace isn't passive. It's the posture that makes power sustainable.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Welcome to The Golfing Mind, where we explore the mental game behind great golf. In today's episode, The Extraordinary Power of Focus, we look at what separates the best players in the world from the rest — their ability to stay completely present, no matter what's at stake. Focus is more than concentration; it's the art of silencing distraction, calming the mind, and trusting the moment. Think of Tiger Woods on one leg at Torrey Pines, Jordan Spieth's remarkable recovery at Royal Birkdale, or Collin Morikawa's calm precision on the final tee at St George's — each a masterclass in FOCUS under pressure. We'll explore what science tells us about focus, how it shapes performance, and how you can strengthen it in your own game. Because in golf, as in life, success rarely belongs to the strongest — it belongs to the most focused https://www.siegergolf.com/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Welcome back to The IMAGEN Golf Podcast, I'm your host, Daniel Guest, and today, we're tackling a massive variable that far too many amateur golfers completely neglect: the pre-round warm-up.If your warm-up currently consists of a hurried arrival, two half-hearted practice swings on the first tee, and a prayer, you're not just risking a poor first tee shot—you're flirting with injury and leaving strokes on the table.The Problem with the Traditional Warm-UpFor years, the gold standard was the static stretch—the long, held touches of the toes, the held tricep pulls. But the science on pre-activity stretching has evolved, and for an explosive, rotational sport like golf, holding those long stretches before you play can actually be detrimental. It can temporarily decrease muscle power and make you feel less stable.We need to ditch the idea that a warm-up is just about stretching. It's about preparing the body to move powerfully and efficiently.The Tiger Woods Blueprint: Structure and SpecificityWhen you look at the greatest to ever play, Tiger Woods, his pre-round routine is a masterclass in structure. It's a complete dress rehearsal.He's not just hitting a random bucket of balls; he's on the practice green over an hour before his tee time, hitting a specific number of putts, often starting with one-handed drills to ensure pure face control. Then it's a measured climb through the bag on the range: 5 wedges , then 2 driver. 2 3 wood, 3 mid-irons, 7 driver, 6 3 wood, etc, and finally, play some imaginary holes. This meticulous process isn't just about warming up muscles; it's about dialing in rhythm, gapping, and ensuring every single club feels familiar before he steps onto the first tee. It's about eliminating variables—a core principle of lower scoring.The Power of Dynamic Warm-Up: The Miguel Ángel Jiménez WayBut what if you don't have an hour and a half? This is where the dynamic warm-up comes in, championed by golf's most interesting man, Miguel Ángel Jiménez."The Mechanic's" famous routine, which might look like a wild Tai Chi performance, is actually a brilliantly designed dynamic sequence. He's not holding stretches; he's moving his body through the full range of motion it will experience during the golf swing.Torso Rotations: Getting that thoracic spine—the mid-back—loose and ready for rotational power.Hip Swings & Openers: Mobilizing the hips, the engine of the golf swing, which prevents energy leaks and protects your lower back.Shoulder Circles: Loosening the shoulders to ensure a full, unimpeded backswing arc.Dynamic movement increases blood flow, elevates your body temperature, and essentially tells your nervous system, "It's time to fire up those golf muscles!" This is scientifically proven to increase clubhead speed and improve accuracy because your body is ready to move fluidly, not stiffly.Your Two-Minute Dynamic FixYou don't need a full hour. You just need two to five minutes of dynamic movement.Hip Swings: 5 forward/backward and 5 side-to-side on each leg.Torso Rotations: 10 gentle twists side-to-side, letting your arms follow.Overhead Club Stretch: Hold a club overhead, do 5 side-bends to each side, and 5 slight rotations to open the chest.Shadow Swings: Take 5 slow, deliberate practice swings, focusing on a full, free turn.Do this before you hit your first range ball or, if you're running late, right before you walk onto the first tee. You'll be amazed at how much better your opening shots feel. Stop treating your body like a cold engine you're trying to redline. Warm it up, prime it, and watch your consistency—and your scores—drop.

Burnout recovery for high performers begins here. Discover why success fatigue and performance pressure aren't personal flaws—but signs of identity misalignment. Learn how to recalibrate before exhaustion becomes your normal.Even the strongest leaders reach a breaking point when excellence becomes identity. In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly unpacks the hidden cost of high performance — how burnout, success fatigue, and emotional exhaustion are not signs of weakness but symptoms of misalignment.Through the lens of predictive processing, Julie explores why your brain equates slowing down with danger — and how to teach it that peace is safe again. When productivity becomes protection, rest feels risky. But exhaustion isn't failure — it's feedback.Drawing from the story of Tiger Woods, Julie illustrates what happens when discipline turns to dependence — when the very excellence that built success begins to erode the self beneath it. You'll learn why high-capacity humans often mistake depletion for devotion, and how to reclaim excellence as an expression of identity, not a substitute for it.This episode weaves together psychology, neuroscience, and faith to reveal a deeper truth: You've been loving people through your excellence. Now, you're invited to love them through your presence.Inside this conversation, you'll discover:Why burnout recovery begins at the identity level — not in your calendar or habits.How predictive processing keeps you overperforming long after your peace runs out.The difference between devotion and depletion — and how to recognize when one has disguised itself as the other.Why rest feels unsafe, and how to retrain your nervous system to experience stillness as security.The spiritual reality of presence over performance — that your worth was never meant to hang on what you produce.Today's Micro Recalibration:“I no longer mistake depletion for devotion.”If you lead others, bring this to your next conversation:“What part of our culture rewards depletion as proof of dedication?”Because collective burnout isn't about weak people — it's about misaligned patterns.This episode reminds you that The Recalibration isn't another mindset tactic or productivity strategy. It's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool finally work again.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Through the story of Tiger Woods, and the lens of neuroscience and identity, she unpacks how achievement becomes entangled with safety, belonging, and self-worth — and why it's time to redefine success from the inside out.You'll learn:Why burnout isn't a failure of drive, but a symptom of identity fatigue.How your brain's safety system wires achievement to belonging — and why this pattern quietly shapes everything you do.How childhood success patterns (from praise to avoidance) evolve into adult performance pressure.Why some forms of “success” don't look socially acceptable — but still meet the same human need for safety and connection.What Tiger Woods' story reveals about the cost of confusing output with identity.How to shift from proving to expressing — and find peace without losing ambition.Today's Micro Recalibration:

Gabby Herzig & Will Haskett joined the show and host Gary Williams. Herzig talked about the start of the season with the Sentry being cancelled and the impact it might have. She also discussed some of the initial hires that new PGA TOUR CEO Brian Rolapp has made to start his tenure, thoughts on Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, the year of Justin Rose and the future of Tiger Woods. Haskett talked about the change on the horizon but also what has worked this past year; the future contraction and churn on tour and discussed whether Scheffler could post a +3 strokes gained on the tour over the course of the season.
Tiger Woods' recent lumbar disk replacement surgery marks his seventh back procedure, raisingquestions about the overreliance on surgical interventions in modern medicine. Despite access to top-tier care, Woods' journey highlights a troubling trend: unnecessary surgeries driven by imaging results and financial incentives. With 80% of spine clinic patients not needing surgery, experts advocate for a shift toward conservative treatments like regenerative medicine and multidisciplinary care. Woods' story is a stark reminder that surgery should be the last resort, not the first.Dr. Adam Brockman answers caller questions
(00:00) Three Wood Loft and Ball Placement This chapter explores the ongoing evolution and challenges of using a 3-wood in golf, especially for older players experiencing decreased clubhead and ball speed. We discuss how modern alternatives, such as modified clubs with more loft, offer easier handling and similar distances compared to traditional 3-woods. With pros moving away from the 3-wood, we consider the benefits of clubs like the 5-wood, which, with its increased loft, can be easier to launch and achieve comparable distances with less effort. The discussion highlights how many golfers find greater satisfaction and performance in their game by opting for these more forgiving clubs, potentially leading to fewer frustrations on the course. (13:29) Golf Equipment Adjustments for Speed This chapter takes us through the aftermath of a hurricane in Fort Myers Beach, illustrating the resilience of nature and the local community in rebuilding efforts. I reflect on the damage reminiscent of a war zone and compare it to past experiences with Hurricane Hugo in Charleston, South Carolina. The conversation shifts to discussing when golfers should consider equipment changes to compensate for a lack of speed. Emphasis is placed on first assessing whether players can improve their physical capabilities before investing in new equipment. I explore the importance of a qualified fitter in testing equipment to ensure it complements the player's abilities, highlighting the common mistake of choosing longer and lighter shafts without considering control and accuracy. I also share a lighthearted moment about golf buddies exchanging playful banter on the course, adding a humorous touch to the sport's social aspect. (19:21) Clubs and Balls This chapter examines the intricacies of golf club fitting and the perpetual advancements in club technology. We explore how individual factors, such as familiarity with the club's weight and shaft length, influence a golfer's ability to consistently hit the center of the clubface. The importance of personalized club fitting is emphasized over succumbing to marketing claims about the latest equipment. There's also a humorous take on the ubiquity of golf commercials featuring the same picturesque Arizona backdrop, questioning whether clubs truly improve with each new release or if it's simply marketing hype. The conversation highlights the ever-present push from manufacturers to sell the latest clubs, often with extravagant claims, while reminding listeners of the value of consulting with a fitter to find the best equipment for their game. (31:03) Player Length and Equipment in Golf This chapter examines the ongoing debate about the distance modern golf balls can achieve, particularly in comparison to past golfing eras. We discuss how in the days of Tiger Woods' dominance, there wasn't much discourse about restricting golf ball distances despite his impressive driving abilities. Highlighting the irony, we touch on how players from past generations, who were once lauded for their long drives, are now among those calling for restrictions. We also explore the excitement and spectacle of players driving the ball onto short par-four greens, emphasizing the entertainment value and media attention these feats bring, regardless of the actual scores achieved. Additionally, we touch on the advancements in golf equipment, noting that while many drivers perform similarly, the evolution of golf balls continues to make a significant impact on distance. (37:42) Increasing Swing Speed Through Training This chapter focuses on techniques and exercises to increase golf swing speed, emphasizing the importance of reducing tension and encouraging faster body movement. We explore the benefits of using training tools like speed sticks and the stack system to help your brain and body coordinate faster movements. By practicing with these tools, your natural swing speed can increase, resulting in greater distance on the golf course. The importance of proper sequencing and timing in the golf swing is highlighted, including the role of lateral push, rotary twist, and braking with the lead leg to enhance club speed. Additionally, we touch on the necessity of maintaining a firm yet supple grip to prevent slowing down the club. Overall, the chapter provides practical insights into developing a faster and more powerful golf swing. (43:39) Effortless Power and Golf Performance This chapter explores the intricate balance between timing and technique in achieving maximum power and efficiency in a golf swing. We discuss how the right timing can transform a golfer's swing from a powerless effort to effortless power, using the examples of renowned long-drive champions like Justin James and Jason Zubak. These athletes demonstrate that while tremendous effort is involved, understanding when and how to apply force is crucial for maximizing distance. We also highlight the importance of having equipment fitted and working with knowledgeable instructors to enhance one's golf game. Finally, we emphasize that even those with immense power, like long-drive competitors, possess the skill and precision needed to succeed on the course. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Andy and Brendan! once again went LIVE on YouTube for one of the best days of the year: the annual golf Halloween costumes episode. Before diving into some ideas celebrating the best in golf for 2025, the two quickly run through the Schedule for the Week containing just two events for the final week in October. They then move to some recent news, highlighting Kai Trump's LPGA sponsor exemption into The Annika in November. Andy and Brendan call out the continued use of sponsor exemptions on all tours and note that this could not be a an actual competitive exemption. Elsewhere on the LPGA, the Grant Thornton Invitational teams are out, pairing FSU studs Lottie Woad and Luke Clanton, Canadians Brooke Henderson and Corey Conners, and more. For the last bit of news, it was announced that the Old Course will be adding new tees in an effort to make the course longer for the 155th Open. This opens the floodgates for a discussion about the distance problem in golf with Brendan calling this a "five-alarm fire" that should not be celebrated by media and fans alike. PJ is tapped to explain the 2026 Champions Tour schedule that may - or may not - have Tiger Woods in its plans before Andy forces him to rank his top five Halloween candies. The three then present their golf-adjacent Halloween costume ideas, covering subjects like Lucas "King of Takes" Glover, Happy Gilmore*, the Crentist, Keegan Bradley's suitcase, and much, much more. Listener submissions will be read and judged on Friday's episode for a gift card to the Fried Egg Golf Pro Shop.

BT & Sal are fired up after discovering actress Sydney Sweeney—who recently appeared on their show—was spotted at the World Series wearing a Dodger jersey, despite explicitly refusing to name a favorite team to the hosts! Sal feels personally betrayed by the "A-List Betrayal," sparking a massive debate about whether she was being genuine or simply following a PR strategy. The discussion quickly devolves into a separate, equally fiery take from Sal on Shohei Ohtani. Sal minimizes Ohtani's accomplishment as a two-way player, calling the "two jobs" claim overrated and questioning if his impressive moments are only impressive because of the anomaly. BT vehemently disagrees, arguing Ohtani is "one of one" and historically unprecedented, leading to a huge argument over whether Ohtani is more impressive than Aaron Judge, Babe Ruth, or even Tiger Woods and Mike Tyson.
BT & Sal are fired up! Sal accuses actress Sydney Sweeney of "lying" after she appeared at the World Series wearing a Dodgers jersey despite refusing to name a rooting interest on their show. This leads to a fiery debate on Shohei Ohtani, with Sal minimizing his two-way status, calling the "two jobs" narrative a joke and arguing that his six-inning, four-run World Series start was "not impressive." BT counters, calling Ohtani's overall ability "insane" and comparing the two-way marvel to Babe Ruth, Tiger Woods, and Mike Tyson, while Sal argues Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders were more impressive. The conversation also features a call on why the Karl-Anthony Towns trade wasn't a win for the Knicks. The segment wraps with Three Random Questions: When you have a cold, do you go with medicine or let it ride out naturally? What are your top three favorite Halloween candies?
Should the Vikings have been more transparent about Wentz's injury? Will Tiger Woods play at the Masters this year? Are the Ravens the favorite to win the AFC North? Will Lane Kiffin leave Ole Miss for LSU?
After his epic game 3 performance We marvel at what Shohei Ohtani's has done this post season and wonder have we ever seen a dominant run like this ever? Vlad mention Tiger Woods Tiger Slam and we compare both of their great runs.

(00:01) Improving Aim in Golf Swing This chapter explores the importance of proper aiming in golf, inspired by a video from renowned golf teacher Kelly Stenzel. We address the common mistake of setting up to the ball before aiming and emphasize the correct order of aiming first, then setting up. We discuss how many golfers, like my regular playing partner, mistakenly think they are aligned correctly when they're not, leading to shots that miss their intended targets. The discussion highlights the need for golfers to recognize what good alignment looks like and the potential pitfalls of adjusting one's swing or grip unnecessarily due to poor alignment. By focusing on proper alignment and ball positioning, golfers can improve their accuracy and consistency on the course. (11:44) Improving Alignment for Golf Success This chapter explores the often-overlooked importance of proper alignment in golf. We discuss a real-life example of a student who believed he had a swing issue, but the real problem was his alignment and ball position. After addressing these factors, he consistently hit straight shots, showcasing how many golfers mistakenly focus on swing mechanics when alignment is the root cause of their problems. We emphasize the value of recognizing one's consistent swing patterns and how visual elements like trees can affect perception and performance on the course. The conversation highlights the common tendency among golfers to overcomplicate their technique, often influenced by instructional videos that don't address their specific issues, and the significant improvement that can be achieved by simplifying their approach and trusting their natural swing. (23:18) Defining Golf This chapter explores the multifaceted nature of golf and its classification as a sport, game, or athletic endeavor. We discuss the leisurely aspects of golf, emphasizing enjoyment and camaraderie, while acknowledging that many players seek improvement and competition, leading to a more serious approach involving fitness and practice routines. The conversation highlights the distinction between golf and traditional sports by noting the absence of direct human opposition in golf, with the course itself providing the challenge. We compare this to sports like football and baseball, where opponents actively try to thwart each other's success, reinforcing the unique nature of golf in the realm of athletic activities. (28:43) Defining Golf as a Sport This chapter explores the nuanced differences between sports and athletic endeavors. We discuss how activities like downhill skiing, water skiing, and triathlons require physical prowess but differ from sports like basketball, where there's a direct physical opposition from others. We also debate the nature of competition in sports, using examples like golf and the mental challenges faced by professional players such as Tiger Woods. Our conversation highlights how sports often involve mental and physical barriers, whether from opponents or the environment, and touches on the unique mental hurdles presented by spectators in golf. Finally, we invite listeners to explore our updated website, where they can access a treasure trove of past episodes, celebrating our 11-year journey and award-winning podcast legacy. (42:46) The Fun and Challenge of Golf This chapter focuses on the multifaceted nature of games, with a particular emphasis on golf as both a sport and a recreational activity. We explore the idea that games, including golf, are fundamentally meant for fun and socializing. There's a comparison to board games like Parcheesi and its modern counterpart, Sorry, illustrating the competitive and strategic elements that make games engaging. Golf, much like these games, offers enjoyment whether played for fun or competition. We discuss the satisfaction of improving one's skills and achieving scores closer to par, highlighting the joy and fulfillment that come from enhancing your game and reaching new personal milestones. Ultimately, this chapter underscores the importance of embracing the fun and challenge that golf provides, encouraging listeners to appreciate the game as a rewarding and enjoyable experience.

Tiger Woods' latest surgery has fans asking if we've finally reached the end of an era—and his own words might confirm it. In this week's episode of The Golf Podcast, we ask the question every golf fan is wondering — is this finally the end for Tiger Woods? After undergoing yet another back surgery to replace a collapsed disc, Tiger's future in competitive golf looks more uncertain than ever. At 49 years old and approaching eligibility for the PGA Tour Champions, Tiger has opened up about his biggest regret from years of relentless training and physical strain — running too much early in his career, which he now believes contributed to many of his knee and back problems. In this episode, we're breaking down Tiger's long injury timeline, his cryptic comments about returning to golf, and what this latest setback could mean for his career. Could his next chapter be as a mentor, designer, or even a full-time dad to Charlie Woods? And more importantly, does professional golf still need Tiger to thrive? We explore how stars like Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy have carried the torch, the rise of new golf ventures like TGL and Tomorrow Sports, and whether the game has finally moved beyond its Tiger era.

RUNDOWN Was this the single greatest weekend in Seattle sports history? Mitch and Hotshot relive Friday night's 15-inning epic at T-Mobile Park as the Mariners advanced to the ALCS — Hotshot shares his in-stadium perspective, spilled beer and all, describing the crowd as “ear-splitting, like 1995 all over again.” Mitch calls Bryce Miller's Game 1 masterpiece in Toronto “legendary” and compares it to the Mariners' own must-win over Detroit. Then comes the forgotten hero of the weekend: Washington QB Damon Williams Jr., whose 538-yard, four-touchdown night went largely unseen while fans watched baseball on their phones. Add in the Seahawks' 20–12 win over Jacksonville (seven sacks despite missing key defenders), a Kraken overtime winner, and even Humpy the Salmon's long-awaited race victory — and Mitch declares it “the most joy-filled Seattle weekend in decades.” Mitch welcomes Joe Doyle (Over Slot) and Brady Farkas (Refuse to Lose Podcast) after Seattle's gritty 3–1 win to open the ALCS in Toronto — a game nobody expected them to take. The trio break down Bryce Miller's six-inning gem on three days' rest, the early escape that steadied him, and how his righty-righty splitter and held-velocity heater set the tone. They praise the bullpen trio of Spire, Brash, and Muñoz, the clutch base-running by Randy Arozarena, and Cal Raleigh's homer that flipped the energy of the entire series. Mitch is joined by Brady Henderson (ESPN.com) and Jacson Bevens (Cigar Thoughts) after the Seahawks' 20-12 road win over Jacksonville — a cross-country statement built on a revived pass rush and Sam Darnold's continued efficiency. The trio break down Byron Murphy's monster day (2 sacks, 7 pressures), a seven-sack team effort that could've reached double digits, and the coaching adjustments Mike McDonald made one week after the Tampa Bay meltdown. They highlight Darnold's nearly flawless 295-yard, 2-TD outing and debate whether he's already a top-tier QB in the NFC. CBS analyst Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch after witnessing Indiana's stunning 30–20 win over Oregon in Eugene — the Hoosiers' first-ever road win over a top-five team. Rick praises head coach Kurt Signetti for his “keep-it-inside” defensive discipline and authenticity, calling him “hotter than Texas chili” as Penn State's likely next target after James Franklin's firing. They discuss the money storm brewing in the Big Ten's upcoming $2.4 billion media deal, why booster influence now drives coaching turnover, and how NIL has reshaped the sport's economy. Rick breaks down SEC chaos after Auburn's controversial finish versus Georgia, the Texas rebound behind Steve Sarkisian, and why parity is spreading as defensive-line depth thins across power programs. Mitch “plants his spear” for Washington QB Damon Williams Jr., claiming him for Taco Time's Doing Some Work honors after a 538-yard night, while Rick awards his crispy burritos to Texas A&M's defense — 2-for-33 on third downs over three games.

Andy and Brendan return after a eventful weekend of sports losses and an "uneventful" weekend of pro golf. Andy is still in the dumps after the Cubs loss in the NLDS, but claims a Victory Monday for Chicago anyway. It was an eventful weekend in French Lick, Indiana at the Korn Ferry Tour finals. Andy and Brendan run through the Top 20 bubble and discuss many of the players that earned their PGA Tour cards for next year. They also commend the KFT broadcast crew for bringing something different to viewers before wondering what Brian Rolapp was thinking during his trip to French Lick. On the PGA Tour, Xander Schauffele found his way back to the winner's circle at the Baycurrent Classic in Japan. This was Xander's tenth PGA Tour win, leading to a discussion about how many he'll end up with at the end of his career. Unlike the KFT booth, Andy was less than impressed with the Baycurrent broadcast and calls for more analysts to tell it like it is. Brendan is fired up that the year of Marco Penge rolls on after his big win at the Spanish Open. Penge will now be in next year's Open and Masters and said post-round that he thinks he's set up for success at Augusta. PJ checks on his Masters odds and finds that Penge's priced lower than one recent major champion! In perhaps the biggest news of the week, the LPGA's streak is over. Jeeno Thitikul won the Buick LPGA Shanghai, becoming the first repeat winner of 2025. The greens at this event were under fire all week for poor conditioning and Brendan was excited to see some pros having to handle muni-like conditions. Alex Cjeka won the final Champions Tour event of the regular season and the "senior mules" are unhappy about Brian Rolapp's recent cuts to the pension program. As for the rest of the news from this weekend, it came out that J.J. Spaun was held out of foursomes at the Ryder Cup due to his golf ball. Andy suggests maybe it's time for golf to have just one ball to use like every other sport does. The two then discuss the current state of Tiger Woods following another back surgery and where his place in today's game may be. Will he even play a TGL match again, much less any on-course golf? To end the show, Andy demands that PJ apologize for an abysmal performance from Justin Fields on national television as the Jets remain winless in 2025.
